Game 25

Did you know: Two Dodgers, infielder Juan Uribe and catcher Ramon Hernandez, have played previously for the Rockies.

Numbers game: 22 – the number of different lineups used by the Dodgers in their 24 games in 2013.

THE PITCHERS

TED LILLY (0-0, 1.80)

The left-hander wasn't supposed to be part of this rotation, but Lilly pitched well in his 2013 debut last week and could conceivably carve out a regular spot for himself with continued success. Dating back to 2011, he's allowed one run or less in nine of his last 12 starts.

vs. Rockies: 10-2, 3.92

at Dodger Stadium: 15-11, 3.71

Loves to face: Dexter Fowler, 3 for 23 (.130), 6 strikeouts

Hates to face: Carlos Gonzalez, 8 for 20 (.400), 5 HR, 10 RBI

TYLER CHATWOOD (0-0, 6.00)

The right-hander, who played at Redlands East Valley High and came up with the Angels, will be making his second start of the 2013 season for Colorado. Chatwood, 23, he has been below average in the big leagues thus far, but was lights-out in Triple-A before getting called up last week.

vs. Dodgers: 2-2, 3.86

at Dodger Stadium: 1-1, 2.45

Loves to face: A.J. Ellis, 1-6 (.167)

Hates to face: Matt Kemp, 3-6, (.500), 1 HR, 2 RBI

LAST TIME THEY PLAYED: The Dodgers swept the Rockies last September to stay alive in the playoff race. Colorado won four of the six series the teams played in 2012, but the Dodgers won the season series, 10-8.

ROCKIES REPORT: Colorado has been the biggest surprise in baseball in April, stringing together eight straight wins in the middle of the month and altogether producing impressive offense – at home and on the road.

PLAYER TO WATCH: Third baseman Nolan Arenado, of El Toro High, made his major-league debut Sunday for Colorado and will have the spotlight on him in this week's series. A second-round pick in 2009, Arenado is considered the Rockies' top prospect since Troy Tulowitzki.
